Fusion of the Towers

Since the site cannot be complete anarchy, obviously a set of rules has to be established. For the most part it is exactly what you see everywhere else, basic respect being a big part of it. The rules apply to everyone, and breaking rules will have consequences, the more severe the rulebreaking the more severe the punishment. Please read the rules before you begin posting, and please make sure you understand them.

Respect all members

Use proper titles, unless otherwise directed

Moderators and Administrators have authority for a reason, listen to them. Any problems with people abusing their power can be directed to an admin

When you know you're going to be gone, post a LoA

Keep posts to a PG-13 rating

• Do not godmod (IE don't play another character's reaction without permission, even if it's something small).
• Use past tense
• Use third person
• Italics should only be used for:
  
  • Character thoughts
  • Notes/letters in the post
  • Emphasis on words
  • Words in the Old Tongue
• Use sentences and paragraphs
• Use correct grammar (we understand that English is not the first language of everyone on the site, please do your best)
• Do not use italics, astrisks or other indication to show action, write it out.

Once you have read and understand the rules, and meet the three above requirements, feel free to register on the boards.

Name Rules

• Use your character's name (first or first and last) as your username
• Please come up with an original name, do not take names from the Wheel of Time, or another series you have read.

After registering

• Post in the Sign Up Thread and one of the admins will set your permissions.
• Post your Biography. After your bio is posted, you may begin RPing.

Avatars

All members are required to have an avatar, it should look at least somewhat like you picture your character, as this is his or her only portrait.

• If the image you want for your avatar is copyrighted, either get the artist's permission, or do not use it.
• Ideal avatar size is 110x170 pixels
• If you do not know where to get an avatar, try these sites: Site 1, Site 2, Site 3, Site 4 (Note, all avatars found on site 4 are preapproved for use, and not currently taken by another member)
• At this time, there are no restrictions on changing avatars, provided that changes are infrequent and within reason

More avatar information can be found in this thread.

The requirements for a bonding are as follows:

• Both applicants must be senior members
• The applicants must be of different factions
  
  • Asha'man may bond Gaidin (male or female) or Aes Sedai
  • Aes Sedai may bond Gaidin (male or female) or Asha'man
  • Gaidin may be bonded by Aes Sedai or Asha'man
• Applicants characters have met more than once in character
• Only Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah will be allowed to have more than one bondmate

Once you have determined that you want to bond, both applicants must PM an admin. Once your bonding is OK'd, you will have to RP the bonding.
We will always take special circumstances into concideration, if you have a good IC reason, we will concider making exceptions to these rules.
Force-bonding is acceptable only if both members agree OOC, any force-bonding without prior OOC consent will not be recognized as a bond, and will result in a warning.

A bonding is permanent! There are only two reasons that a bond can be dissolved: 1) Your bondmate leaves the site/is killed; 2) Your bondmate is gone for over sixty days without LoA. If you want to dissolve a bond, please be sure to let the admins know. Under extreme circumstances, bonds may be dissolved without one member being gone, and will be concidered on a case-by-case basis, and only grated for good IC reasons. Aes Sedai in the books know how to dissolve a bond, it simply is not done.

Secondary characters are allowed at Fusion, for anyone who wishes to play another character, however there are a few requirements.

• You must be a dedicated member of the site before creating a secondary
• You may create as many characters as you wish, as long as you can keep up with them all
• Senior members must inform an admin before creating a secondary character
• Junior members must receive for admin approval before creating a secondary character
